Hack and Shoot Heroes changes
Great news, heroes! Survive the Hordes! is now fully compatible with the Steam Deck – bringing the ultimate twin-stick hack 'n shoot action straight to your hands. Whether you're on the go or curled up on the couch, it's time to dive into climactic battles, collect epic loot, and face off against devastating bosses – wherever you are!
🎮 About the Game
Pick your hero and get ready to hack or shoot your way through endless waves of enemies in fast-paced, arcade-style combat. Level up by collecting experience gems, choose from powerful weapons or game-changing items, and fight your way to the final boss battle.
As you slash through hordes, you'll unlock new heroes, gather coins, and discover legendary loot hidden throughout the land. Once you’ve mastered the main challenge, test your skills in the chaotic Horde Mode, where high-tier enemies and massive rewards await.
🦸♂️ Choose Your Champion
Pick from six unique heroes, each with their own playstyle and starting weapon:
⚔️ Knight – Fast slashing and frontline power
🔥 Firemage – Burn enemies with devastating fire spells
✝️ Priest – Hold the line with holy might
🌀 Rogue – Agile and deadly with boomerang shurikens
☠️ Necromancer – Summon the undead to fight at your side
⚡ Stormmage – Shock enemies with chain lightning
Each hero offers a distinct experience, giving the game high replayability and exciting ways to experiment with different builds.
⚙️ Loot, Upgrade, and Strategize
Level up during your run and choose between randomly selected items:
🧪 Consumables
🗡️ New Weapons
📈 Stat Modifiers
Every item comes with a rarity level, influencing how powerful it is – and if you're lucky, you might score a legendary! But beware: your inventory space is limited, so choose wisely. Can’t decide? Reroll your options — for a price.
